I received an email from someone in gov't in NM comparing the new system to Oregon! where only 5% of tags go to non-residents.

Oregon!?!? certainly not a state I'd want to be referring to about the quality of draws/hunts.

Why are non-residents even limited at all in the first place? Can't we all go into the same pool, and if a non-res draws you charge them the non-res fee, and vice-versa? Also in most cases residents should out number non-residents, ie if only 10% of total tags applied for are non-residents, the max non-res that could draw would be 10%.

I just need to find a way to become a resident of every state I apply for.
